Parking Technology

Bike Dock Solutions is proud to present the most innovative product launch in cycle parking in recent times.

We have partnered with Bikeep, developers of the smart commercial bike rack that locks your bikes securely with your phone or swipe card.

No need for bike locks anymore, the Bikeep securely holds the bike with a round steel bar which is alarmed if anyone tries to cut it. You can use your mobile to set up, then place your bike and lock it. Then when you return, the system will recognise your phone and will unlock it for you. Simple as that.

First installed in 2013 and installed in the USA and Europe, there have been zero bike thefts reported with the Bikeep.

Suitable for businesses, universities, schools, and local government.
